What is NAS hard drive? [ Ссылка ]

NAS hard drive is designed for systems running 24/7. This mainly means network attached storage servers. As you may well know NAS servers will turn the drives into a combined storage volume with a 1 or more drive failure protection. RAID means that data is broken down into small pieces and is written across all drives in the RAID group. This means NAS hard drives have to be made to last through neverending reading and writing operations.

How is it different than regular drive?
It is very different than regular desktop drive found in your PC where data is occasionally added to it. Regular drives are made to be turned off daily. Also, desktop drives would unlikely be used in the RAID (mirror or stripe at best). Desktop drives will more often feature higher spin rate. This is because computers using them need to be able to quickly request data from it at any given time. NAS drives will spin at the slower rate or even hibernate when no one is accessing data. And it will also spin faster if there are an increased number of people accessing the data. This means NAS drives are more power efficient rather than desktop drives like WD Blue/ Black or Seagate Barracuda.
